Hand luggage
You can only take 1 piece of small luggage measuring 40 x 30 x 10 cm on board for free. This applies to the cheapest "Basic" fare.
On all other fares, you can take an additional piece of classic hand luggage measuring 55 x 40 x 23 cm for free.
Business class passengers can have 2 hand luggage pieces.
The total weight of both pieces must not exceed 8 kg.
Detailed information on hand luggage can be found on the lufthansa website at lufthansa.com/carry-on-baggage.
Checked baggage
Checked baggage is not included in the cheapest Economy Light fare on all routes.
If you want to travel with checked baggage, you can also choose the more expensive Economy Basic fare, which already includes checked baggage up to 23 kg.
The difference in price between the "Light" and "Basic" fares is always the same as if you had purchased the luggage separately on the "Light" fare. However, the Basic fare is preferable because it includes (for a fee) the option to change flights.
On long-haul routes, the Basic fare with checked baggage costs about 70 eur more than the Light fare without baggage, while on routes within Europe the price is 30 eur higher.
Detailed information on baggage can be found at lufthansa.com/checked-baggage.

Children under 2 years old are not entitled to any hand luggage or checked baggage, but you can take a bag with baby food on board free of charge.
Strollers are always carried free of charge.

In the 55x40x23 cm hand luggage category, my suitcase is 55cm including the feet but 58cm including the handle, the other two sizes are 38cm and 22cm. Can I take this on board as hand luggage?
Does hand luggage measuring 55×40×23 fit with the wheels of the suitcase
